Does anyone have any tips for finding decent (no cheeseware) affordable (meaning less than $200) schematic and/or PCB routing (auto-routing that is) software?

1883, Alfred Rusbridge, Bee-Keeping: Plain & Practical: How to Make It Pay, E. W. Allen (1883), page 107:
After filling the bottle with syrup, tie a piece of cheeseware tightly over the mouth, and then place it inverted in the block over the centre hole in the crown-board of the hive.
1884, "Useful Hints", The British Bee Journal, Volume 12, Number 151, 1 August 1884, page 253:
Tie them down firmly with very open canvas or cheeseware, and carry them crown down on a thick ring of hay, to act as a cushion, and prevent rolling.
